a blackjack dealer in the high stakes tables.

It depends on the size of the stakes.From the casinos point of view, poker is probably the most lucrative because the house doesn't risk anything. The players bet amongst themselves and the dealer rakes a percentage from the pot before handing it over to the winning player.In blackjack, on the other hand, it is always possible that a canny player will start making a profit (and the house will lose).Or were you asking about the wages paid to dealers?

When I worked at an indian casino, I saw the blackjack dealers make much more money than the poker dealers.The poker dealers do get good tips, however, more people feel because the blackjack dealer is in more control of the game, they're the more deserving of tips.In a high-stakes room...it could be equal, though.
